Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of the land acquisition process under the National Highways Act, 1956, specifically Sections 3A and 3C. The Court held that the notification for land acquisition was properly issued, and the objections raised by landowners regarding compensation and alternative land use were insufficient to invalidate the process. The Court affirmed the authority's decision to reject the objections, emphasizing that no deficiencies in the notification's description were claimed by the landowners, thus upholding the acquisition order.
